Chapter 93: My temper is rising
To be honest, Wen Shuang had never seen anyone as lacking in self-awareness as Xuan Zhong.
He has lived a wealthy life since childhood. Although his marriage cannot be said to be smooth, he has treated both the flowers in the family and the wild flowers with kindness. Later, when the Xuan family business was facing collapse, Xuan Zhe turned the tide, and Xuan Zhong could get a large bonus every month by staying in the old house. He has never been truly down and out, so his life is full of the weird mentality of "those who obey me will prosper". Even after divorcing Ran Yao and remarrying, he can still point fingers at the other party's life because of his inability to let go. However, in Wen Shuang's eyes, he looks sad: because things were too smooth, he woke up too late, and many times he didn't even have the chance to make amends.
Regardless of Xuan Zhong's attitude, Ran Yao's expression remained indifferent, never taking his emotions to heart. "Alright, today is Quan Yi's annual meeting, and I want to save some face for my son. You and I have long since made peace. Put away your male chauvinism. How I live my life is none of your business."
After hearing this, Xuan Zhong was slightly stunned. Yes, he and Ran Yao had divorced a long time ago.
The forced anger could not hide those dark thoughts, and the bluffing could not win a glance from Ran Yao. Xuan Zhong knew very well in his heart that he actually had a chance back then. If he had not been so stubborn and self-willed, if he had not cheated on his wife, he would have had excellent conditions beyond ordinary people. If he had cared a little more about Ran Yao, the ending might have been very different from now.
Where did the problem lie? Xuan Zhong suddenly felt a pain in his arm that was being held by Tang Wansu, so he pulled it away with force.
At the same time, the blood drained from Tang Wansu's face.
Wen Shuang watched it closely from the side and shook her head slightly.
As they were talking, Xuanzhe came down from upstairs, followed by several directors of the company. Quanyi's financial statements this year were also very good, and everyone had a happy face. Xuanzhe still looked calm, and only when he saw Wen Shuang did he show a slight fluctuation. Before he came down from the stairs, he had already stretched out his hand to Wen Shuang.
There are so many people watching... Wen Shuang felt guilty in her heart and embarrassed on her face, but she still walked over and took the hand obediently.
This action can explain a lot of problems. At least the people who are here for the first time and look down on Wen Shuang have to lower their eyes and thoughts.
Xuanzhe scratched Wen Shuang's palm with his fingertips and lowered his head slightly: "Have you eaten?"
"I ate a bowl of caviar fried rice and a plate of pastries." Wen Shuang continued.
Xuanzhe frowned: "So little"
"..." Wen Shuang: "Boyfriend, although you are very capable, after all, in this kind of occasion, we still have to have some dignity."
Xuanzhe chuckled softly and went over to greet Ran Yao and Ran's father. It was the first time he met Xu Chen, but he was unexpectedly attracted to him. He felt that this elegant and handsome man looked quite good next to his mother. Xuanzhe had no opinion on whether Ran Yao remarried or just had a simple relationship.
Xuanzhe noticed Xuan Zhong standing outside with a gloomy expression, and greeted him, but that was all. He had ruined his wife, so who could he blame? Thinking of this, Xuanzhe clenched Wen Shuang's hand and thought to himself, as long as my wife is here, it's enough.
The hall was filled with elegant and affectionate people in fragrant clothes. Wen Shuang followed Xuan Zhe all the time, and she never stopped eating snacks. After Xuan Zhe and the other big guys had greeted each other, Tan Li and Tang Weisheng came in from the main entrance.
Although Tan Li looked stupid, fortunately his IQ was always online. Tang Wansu did not allow Tang Weisheng to be with him, so Tan Li turned around and did something big.
Chuanyu can be considered an old company in the entertainment industry. It is true that Tan Tianhe is a mess, but fortunately he knows how to run the business. At any rate, it ran smoothly when it was handed over to Tan Li. It just so happened that Tang Weisheng's uncle Tang Guanming also wanted to get a piece of the pie in the entertainment industry. He didn't dare to snatch Quan Yi's resources and could only work alongside others. Originally, Tan Li was willing to give him some position, but since Tang Wansu was so noisy, Tan Li squeezed Tang Guanming out.
After half a month, Tang Guanming had lost all the money he had invested in this business. After a little inquiry, he knew who was behind this. Tang Guanming only wanted to get rich, and he was inexplicably afraid of his nephew Tang Weisheng. Whether the other party had a boyfriend or a girlfriend was none of his business. So Tang Guanming called Tang Wansu and reminded her that if she wanted to continue to have money to buy jewelry, she should stop fooling around. A woman like her knew nothing!
Xuan Zhong felt that Tang Wansu stayed at home every day, and one or two pieces of jewelry would be enough to show off. After all, he discriminated against Tang Wansu's background, so he didn't give her much pocket money. This led to Tang Wansu being very dependent on the money given by her younger brother. Tan Li cut off the source of the problem and made clear arrangements for the two of them.
He can be happily with Tang Weisheng again!
Tang Weisheng didn't expect Tan Li to do this. Although his mother was safe for the time being, he still felt a little uneasy.
"I'm here," Xuanzhe greeted first.
Everyone felt that the relationship between the two brothers of the Xuan family had eased, and some connections that Tang Weisheng couldn't make before could now be made, thanks to Xuan Zhe's personal introduction.
Xuan Zhe and Tang Weisheng are in the business circle. Once they start talking, they are quite talkative. But Tan Li and Wen Shuang are not like that. They yawned in succession, then looked at each other. Tan Li made a gesture and Wen Shuang followed behind him.
Xuanzhe caught a glimpse of it, but didn't stop it.
"I'm dying of suffocation." The two of them went to the garden behind the building, and when there was no one around, Tan Li breathed heavily.
Wen Shuang laughed and said, "How can you talk business with such a mentality?"
"It will be fine after a while." Tan Li was beaming. "Once I marry Wei Sheng, I will leave Chuanyu to him and I will continue to film freely."
The system landed on Wen Shuang's shoulder and suddenly asked, "What kind of flower is that?"
Tan Li couldn't hear it, but Wen Shuang followed the system's line of sight and saw a blue six-petal flower with blackish purple stamens, which looked inexplicably familiar.
The next second the system continued: "It's the same color scheme as mine."
Yes, Wen Shuang suddenly realized where this familiar feeling came from.
Wen Shuang strode over and, while she was away from Tan Li, whispered to the system, "Isn't it in your database?"
"It's not surprising that every world has something that other worlds don't have. My memory is limited, so I prioritize important information." The system replied.
Wen Shuang stared at the flower for a few seconds but still couldn't recognize it.
"Hibiscus." Tan Li stepped forward and patiently explained, "This variety is quite difficult to grow, but the flowers have a light and pleasant fragrance and are very ornamental."
The garden is surrounded by floor heating, which keeps the garden green even in the harsh winter. It is a very thoughtful gesture.
Influenced by her grandfather, Wen Shuang has a good impression of flowers, plants and trees. When she heard Tan Li say that the flowers had a pleasant fragrance, she leaned closer to smell them. However, she didn't smell the fragrance and watched a bee emerge from the overlapping petals.
Wen Shuang had been stung as a child and was very afraid of this thing. She was startled and suddenly sat up straight, then quickly took two steps back.
Tan Li found it funny, "You are afraid of such a small thing?" Men like to do things that other men dare not do, in order to achieve some strange sense of satisfaction. After Tan Li finished speaking, he touched it with his hand, as if it was a pet he raised. Wen Shuang had no time to stop him.
really……
"Hiss!" Tan Li suddenly withdrew his hand, clenched his fingertips, took a breath, and looked at Wen Shuang in disbelief.
Wen Shuang: "I didn't sting you! Don't hit it, bees hold grudges!"
But Tan Li had the temperament of a waiter since he was a child. His fingertips were burning with pain, and he was so angry that he didn't care about anything. He wanted to fight with the bee immediately, but the bee had a brother. Wen Shuang watched him jumping up and down, gesturing at the air, and suddenly he let out an "ah".
"Wen Shuang!" Tan Li shouted.
In the face of brotherly justice, Wen Shuang had no choice but to bite the bullet. He would never do something as unthinkable as fighting with bees. He immediately took off his coat and covered Tan Li's head with it, then grabbed his flailing arms and said, "Let's go!"
"You go, I'll cover you!" The system said tragically. Wen Shuang took the time to look back and saw that the light ball's eyes, as big as black beans, were smiling into the shape of moons. She knew that it was making fun of her.
"You broken ball..." Wen Shuang was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of Xuan Zhe and others coming out, followed by a large group of onlookers.
How shameful! Wen Shuang shouted in his heart. Even though Tan Li couldn't see, he was still punching and kicking. Wen Shuang was wondering whether he should let this man fend for himself, when he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his hand. He took a breath and his expression changed slightly. Xuan Zhe's expression also changed and he strode forward.
Wen Shuang withdrew his hand and found a short black thorn on the back of his hand. The skin around it was visibly red and swollen, and then severe pain came. He was spoiled by Xuan Zhe and could not bear it. He gasped and swung it several times.
"Don't move!" Xuan Zhe said in a low and serious voice. He grabbed Wen Shuang's hand and watched the young man's face turn from red to pale. Tan Li on the other side tore off Wen Shuang's coat, stumbled back, and ran into Tang Weisheng's arms.
"What are you doing!" Tang Weisheng said this only to realize that something was wrong with Tan Li. He lowered his head as much as he could and refused to speak.
"Hahahaha!" The system laughed crazily in mid-air. "Wenshuang, when you covered him just now, you covered a bee with it. Now the sting is symmetrical."
Wen Shuang was so shocked that she didn't care about the pain. How could it be symmetrical?
Tang Weisheng over there had already noticed that Tan Li's eyelids were swelling rapidly, and he squeezed his eyeballs inward, which looked very scary. He immediately pulled the man out.
The finale is that on the day of Quan's annual meeting, Tan Li and Wen Shuang were both rushed to the hospital, followed by the two Xuan brothers. Ran's father took over the mess of hosting the annual meeting from Xuan Zhe. Fortunately, the old man was experienced, otherwise he would have been stunned on the spot.
Tan Li was fine. He was prescribed some medicine and the doctor told him not to touch or scratch it, and that he would be fine after a few days of rest. Tang Weisheng listened carefully to the doctor's advice while looking at him coldly, not understanding how such a grown man could... Just as Tan Li raised his head, Tang Weisheng quickly scratched his palm with his fingernails to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Wen Shuang was not in such good condition. He really lived up to the nickname of "crispy skin". The back of his hands were so swollen that it was unbearable to look at. Maybe it was due to his physical condition, he felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit at first. The doctor's evaluation of him was not as reckless as that of Tan Li, and he was more cautious in prescribing medicine, asking him to come to the hospital for a follow-up check immediately if he felt any discomfort.
Xuan Zhe was filled with low pressure during the whole process. Wen Shuang was sitting while he was standing. The young man buried his face in his arms, and his palm just happened to touch a handful of soft hair.
Wen Shuang escaped unharmed due to discomfort, but Xuanzhe then pressed the system against the wall to prevent it from being smashed into pieces again. It immediately told him everything. Xuanzhe was still thinking about confronting Tan Li, wondering why the person who had followed him out for no reason had ended up like this. Tan Li had come to him on his own initiative, his eyes showing a little black, and the skin around them was all squeezed and swollen, like some kind of freak. He apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wen Shuang, are you okay?"
Xuanzhe: “…”
Xuanzhe looked up and saw his brother standing behind Tan Li, his fist pressed to his lips, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
"Hahaha..." Wen Shuang lay on her side on the hospital bed, her head feeling a little dizzy, but her eyes were still working. Seeing Tan Li like this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Xuanzhe pressed his forehead with a headache. For the first time, he thought he should go to the temple to burn some incense, but then he thought of something else and started laughing too.
